Digital Vibration Meter (DVM)
Operation Manual
Operating the Digital Vibration Meter
1. Press the button to turn on the DVM. One press of
the button sets the meter to read stroke out in mm
indicated by the LED at the top left of the DVM
display.
2. Place the DVM on to the equipment in the correct
orientation as shown on page 2 (turnover). If the
equipment is not operating DVM will go to standby
as shown below.
3. Once the equipment is in operational the DVM will
change to read stroke amplitude as shown below.
4. Press the button again to switch DVM to display the
frequency in which the equipment is operating in
Hertz as shown below.
5. Press the button again to switch DVM to display the
frequency in which the equipment is operating in
Vibrations Per Minute (VPM) as shown below.
Multiply displayed number by 10.
E.g. “300” displayed = 3000vpm.
6. For the natural frequency of a tuned two mass
vibratory equipment simply select which mode you
wish the DVM to measure the natural frequency,
that is in either Hz or VPM. Then switch of the
equipment while the DVM is attached without the
use of braking (if applicable) while the DVM is
attached.
7. Press the button once more to turn off the Digital
Vibration Meter.

DVM Placement for Best Accuracy
For the accurate measurement of stroke/motion place the DVM so that the arrows are pointing parallel to the equipment’s longest
peak to peak stroke/motions direction. A common example of this is the measurement of the trough or deck stroke on vibratory
equipment such as a Syntron Electromagnetic Feeder or Rotary Vibration Feeders & Screens that utilize counter rotating out of
balance vibratory motors in which you would place the DVM arrows parallel to the driveline indicated by the stroke gauge as shown
below.
Low Battery LED Indicator
The DVM is programmed with a battery saver mode but should the battery need replacing this is an ideal opportunity to return the
DVM to Syntechtron for a free software check and upgrade to the latest version however there will be a small charge for the new
battery and label.
